Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of solar energy technology, specifically a self-cleaning solar photovoltaic panel and its manufacturing process. Background Technology

[0002] Solar energy is an infinitely renewable energy source. Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels convert sunlight into electricity, meeting energy needs in a renewable way. Compared to traditional fossil fuels, solar energy has a smaller environmental impact, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and helping to address climate change and environmental pollution. Furthermore, solar PV panels can be distributed across a wider geographical area and flexibly installed on buildings, rooftops, farmland, and other locations, reducing transmission losses and infrastructure construction costs while improving energy efficiency. However, over time, dust and animal waste accumulate on PV panels, reducing their photoelectric conversion efficiency and causing significant economic losses. This can also lead to localized overheating and damage. Therefore, cleaning the surface of PV panels has become an essential requirement for the development of the photovoltaic industry.

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a self-cleaning solar photovoltaic panel and its manufacturing process. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a self-cleaning solar photovoltaic panel and its manufacturing process to solve the problems in the prior art.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A manufacturing process for a self-cleaning solar photovoltaic panel includes the following steps:

[0007] Step 1: Mix tetra(2-hydroxyethoxy)silane, polypropylene glycol, and toluene diisocyanate, stir thoroughly, add catalyst, and react at 80-90℃ for 3-4 hours. After the reaction, add acetone to adjust the viscosity to prepare a prepolymer. Then add betulin and 3,4-diaminofurazan to the prepolymer and continue the reaction for 2-4 hours. After the reaction, remove acetone under reduced pressure at 50-60℃, and then add silica sol to prepare the polymer.

[0008] Step 2: Lay out the glass, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, solar cell, and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer in sequence, and then laminate them; assemble the laminated components with a frame to prepare a solar photovoltaic panel;

[0009] Step 3: Dissolve the polymer in tetrahydrofuran solvent to obtain a coating; apply the coating to a solar photovoltaic panel and place it in a ventilated area for 45-55 hours to obtain the finished product.

[0010] In a more optimized manner, in step one, the content of each component of the polymer is as follows: by mass parts, 30-40 parts tetrakis(2-hydroxyethoxy)silane, 40-60 parts polypropylene glycol, 50-80 parts toluene diisocyanate, 0.01-0.05 parts catalyst, 20-36 parts betulin, 30-40 parts 3,4-diaminofurazan, and 30-40 parts silica sol.

[0011] Ideally, the mass ratio of betulin to 3,4-diaminofurazol is 1:1.5-1.8.

[0012] Ideally, in step one, the catalyst is stannous isooctanoate.

[0013] In a more optimized manner, the preparation steps of silica sol in step one are as follows: anhydrous ethanol, ammonia and deionized water are mixed, heated in an oil bath to 60-70°C, and then silica material is slowly added dropwise. After the addition is completed, the mixture is stirred thoroughly for 10-14 hours. Then, octadecyltrimethoxysilane is added, and the mixture is reacted at 20-30°C for 11-15 hours to prepare silica sol.

[0014] Ideally, the mass ratio of silicon material, anhydrous ethanol, ammonia, deionized water, and octadecyltrimethoxysilane is 2:82:6:8.5:15-20.

[0015] Ideally, the silicon material is a mixture of methyltriethoxysilane and tetraethyl orthosilicate in a mass ratio of 0.5-1.0:1.

[0016] In a more optimized manner, in step two, the lamination process parameters are: lamination temperature of 130℃-140℃ and lamination time of 10-14min.

[0017] Ideally, in step three, the solid content of the coating should be 30-40%.

[0018] Ideally, in step three, the coating thickness is 250-300 μm.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0020] This invention prepares a silica sol by adding anhydrous ethanol, ammonia, deionized water, methyltriethoxysilane, tetraethyl orthosilicate, and octadecyltrimethoxysilane. Then, a polymer is prepared by adding tetra(2-hydroxyethoxy)silane, polypropylene glycol, toluene diisocyanate, betulin, 3,4-diaminofurazan, the silica sol, and the catalyst stannous isooctanoate. Glass, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, solar cells, and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer are then sequentially laminated. The laminated components are assembled with a frame to prepare a solar photovoltaic panel. Finally, a coating is prepared using the polymer as a raw material and applied to the solar photovoltaic panel to obtain the finished product.

[0021] The key feature of this invention is that, in step one, a polymer is prepared using tetratetra(2-hydroxyethoxy)silane, polypropylene glycol, toluene diisocyanate, betulin, and 3,4-diaminofurazan as the main raw materials. The betulin monomer has a lupene structure with a β-OH at the C-3 position, exhibiting high bioactivity and significantly enhancing the polymer's antibacterial properties. 3,4-diaminofurazan has a 1,2,5-oxadiazole structure, which, when covalently introduced into the polymer, provides long-term antifouling capabilities. Therefore, the compounding of betulin monomer and 3,4-diaminofurazan at a mass ratio of 1:1.5-1.8 can achieve synergistic antibacterial and defouling effects, significantly improving the self-cleaning performance of solar photovoltaic panels. Furthermore, a silica sol is prepared by adding anhydrous ethanol, ammonia, deionized water, silica fume, and octadecyltrimethoxysilane. Under alkaline conditions, the silica particles interact to form a network of silica nanoparticles. Due to the numerous pores in the network structure, the material exhibits high light transmittance. Simultaneously, the addition of octadecyltrimethoxysilane allows the methoxy groups to react with the hydroxyl groups on the silica sol surface, introducing long-chain hydrophobic groups and resulting in a silica sol with strong hydrophobic properties. Due to the presence of this strong hydrophobic interface, when water droplets roll onto the superhydrophobic surface, they carry away adhering dust, thus achieving self-cleaning properties.

[0057] Testing and experimentation:

[0058] Water contact angle test: The finished product prepared by this invention was used as a sample, and the contact angle was measured by the seat drop method using an NRL type contact angle meter from Rame-Hart Corporation of the United States. The volume of the water droplet was 2.5 μL, and the measured contact angle was the average of five separate measurements of different areas of each coating.

[0059] Antibacterial test: The coating prepared according to this invention was used as the sample. 100 mL of distilled water and 3.85 g of brain heart extract culture medium were weighed, thoroughly mixed, and then sterilized in a high-temperature, high-pressure steam sterilizer at 121°C for 15 min to prepare the culture medium. Two 12 mL bacterial culture tubes were then taken, and 3 mL of BHI liquid culture medium was added. A single colony was picked from the solid culture medium of *S. mutans* strain and added to the liquid culture medium. The culture was incubated in a constant-temperature shaker (37°C, 200 rpm) for 15 h. The bacterial concentration was adjusted to 10⁻⁶ by comparison with a bacterial turbidity tube. 8 Bacterial suspension was prepared using CFU / mL. The sterilized sample was placed in a disposable sterile petri dish, and 80 μL of the diluted bacterial suspension was added to the center of the sample. A sterile covering film was then placed over the sample using sterile forceps, and gently pressed to spread the bacterial suspension as much as possible. The dish was incubated at 37°C for 24 hours, and the antibacterial rate was calculated. The results are shown in the table below.

[0060]

[0061]

[0062] Conclusion: The dosages in Examples 1 through 5 remained unchanged, with only some reaction parameters modified. Experimental data show that the properties of the samples did not exhibit significant fluctuations.

[0063] Comparative Example 1: The mass ratio of betulin to 3,4-diaminofurazan was changed to 1:0.7, and the rest was the same as in Example 1. The experimental data showed that compared with Example 1, the contact angle decreased to 110° and the antibacterial rate decreased to 88.2%. The reason for this is that changing the mass ratio of betulin to 3,4-diaminofurazan to 1:0.7 is not within the preferred compounding ratio of the present invention. Therefore, the synergistic antibacterial and stain-removing performance of betulin and 3,4-diaminofurazan will decrease, and the antibacterial rate will decrease.

[0064] Comparative Example 2: The preparation of silica sol was removed, and the rest was the same as in Example 1. The experimental data showed that compared with Example 1, the contact angle was reduced to 95° and the antibacterial rate was reduced to 96.8%. The reason for this was that removing the silica sol, which has strong hydrophobic properties, would reduce the overall hydrophobicity of the polymer, thus resulting in a significant decrease in the water contact angle.

[0065] Comparative Example 3: Birch alcohol was removed, and the rest was the same as in Example 1. The experimental data showed that, compared with Example 1, the contact angle decreased to 108° and the antibacterial rate decreased to 78.2%. The reason for this is that removing betulinum alcohol, which has antibacterial properties, would reduce the antibacterial rate of the polymer, thus reducing the antibacterial properties of the coating on the surface of the solar photovoltaic panel.
